By the way, this kickstarter is going fast! Yesterday there was about 1000 out of 5000 full $600 packages sold, today its 2000+ sold. So if you want a cube , I suggest you get going within the next 7 days.. I ordered mine yesterday. Too bad their estimated shipping is december, but I guess that gives me some time to prepare for next spring/summer!

Sure they would, Theres even a name for it: Urban beekeeping http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_beekeeping

I suppose its a waste of good food, but buying honey is not hurting the honeybee cause, it creates demand for more honey, which means hopefully more people will start beekeeping, which will result in more bees overall. Remember, the problem isnt the lack of honey, but the lack of pollinators, ie: bees.

On a related note, I just ordered a Flow Hive cube(https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/flow-hive-honey-on-tap-directly-from-your-beehive), and cant wait to start my own beekeeping-project

This show is awesome. Their funniest regular bit is "Broren til" (The Brother of..) Where they secretly dress up as random people on the street , and stand behind them while they are interviewed, and when they have answered whatever question, the interviewer goes, "And how about your brother?"

"you appear,and please correct me if i am wrong,to pigeon hole anybody who claims a religion as being a fundamentalist"

I hereby correct you, I did no such thing, and did not mention fundamentalism.

"to say religion has not produced a single novel or new idea,totally ignores the massive contributions in regards to:philosophy,math,astrology,physics.the list is pretty extensive."

Extensive, huh? I'd like to see that list, in fact, enlighten me, and mention just ONE idea that was actually helped along by religion? Do you mean any idea that comes from a person defined as religious in any way? Can you show, in no uncertain terms, that it was the persons religious beliefs that helped solve a particular problem?

The closest I can think of is someone like Mendel, a monk, because his monastary allowed him to spend lots of time growing and studying pea-plants. But you can hardly call it a result of religious studies. If anything, Mendel must have skipped some biblereading to count all his peas.

What I'm talking about is when a proper good idea or concept has emerged from studying or following religious scripture or teaching.

Another problem with NDTs words in this video, he tells us that 50% of scientists believe in god/are religious, and this is somehow proof there is no contradiction, or that science does not lead to non-belief. But this is a laughable failure of statistical analysis by NDT. I think the 50% number seems quite high, like he has been using a really bad sift on who qualifies as scientist (is it anyone with a science degree on any level?) But fine, lets make it 50% of scientists in the US. The takeaway from that is that the number of religous is MUCH LOWER than in the general population.
T
he general population is like 85% religious. That means that if 100 people go get a science degree, 85 will be religious, and 35 of them will lose their faith on the way to becoming a scientist. That means that if you study science, and you are religious, theres a 40%
chance youll lose your faith along the way. (This doesnt take into account that many of the 15% non-religious are probably already scientists, so the general population number is probably even higher.)

If you make it all the way to the National Academy of Sciences, a whooping 78 out of the 85 will have lost their faith. Thats about as damning for the no-contradiction/conflict-hypothesis as you can get.

Its like arguing that most drunk drivers never actually crash, therefore alcohol-intake does not influence your driving skills.

A simple "no" would also work.
This is all NOMA nonsense. Religion tells me HOW to go to heaven? Really does it now? What heaven? how? Whats religion´s method? if two competing religions has different ways of getting to heaven, or even outright contradictory hows(Such as Islam (No heaven for you if you believe in Jesus) and Christianity (No heaven for you if you dont believe in Jesus)), how the fuck is that a "how" at all? It isnt. Its superstitious bullshit from A to Z.

Religion has never in the history of humanity told anyone anything worthwhile new, or interesting on any subject. Thats because it relies on faith, revelations and dogma. While science does this on a weekly basis because the entire concept relies on rejection of all forms faith, dogma and revelation, in favor of evidence-based reasoning. Thats the truth.

He totally deserved it http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6890554/all-the-lens-flares-from-jj-abrams-star-trek

Oh , and this video is the raw footage from NRK, ("Norways BBC") who filmed and streamed the entire thing on national TV as a slow-tv-experiment. Later they also did Hurtigruta, with the entire trip on live tv. (a cruiseship that travels norways entire coastline from south to north.

Very little info on this video:Bergensbanen is known for crossing the central mountains of Norway, the scenery is pretty stunning in places. You can read about the Bergen Line here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Line

Tried this once, didnt figure out ANYTHING, just stared at some spaceship in empty space while navigating some config menus I didnt understand at all. Ragequitted after half an hour cause nothing happened. But this trailer was pretty awesome.

at 4:06 in the video Cenk actually says the following about Harris' opinions: "When you say muslims are particularly bad..."

THATS NOT WHAT HE SAYS

Jesus, how hard is this, Harris says ISLAM is particularly bad. See, thats fundamentally different from saying "muslims are particularly bad", it is even pointed out by both Maher and Harris that they are NOT talking about muslims, but about islam. How hard can it be to get this idea into Cenks head? You see "muslims" are the people who are following or assumed from birth to be following islam. Islam is the religion.

Saying islam sucks, does not equal saying "all muslims suck" it just measn that those who consider themselves followers of islam (muslims) are following a religion that sucks.

Honestly, how hard is it to grasp this concept?

I'm fine with people disagreeing with Harris, but can we please discuss the actual ideas that he's promoting, instead of putting words in his mouth?

Cenk: "You know he meant bigoted[not racist], stop nitpicking stuff like that.."

NO, thats a crucial fucking point. Its not bigotry nor racism, it is criticism of a RELIGION, not a race, not a people, not a population, not a country, not a skin color , not a sex, , not a language, not a philia, not a fuckin skull shape. A religion. There is a crucial difference. If you cant see the difference, then I'm sorry: Try again.

The thing is, criticizing a bad idea, or a collection of bad ideas can never be racist nor bigoted.

That not to say that some people aren't irrationally hating and bigoted towards muslims, or people who look like they might be muslims, but that is a COMPLETELY different thing.

Everyone understands this in politics: if you think the republican party sucks, that doesnt mean you hate people with a texan accent. Still, I'm sure some people think people with a thick texan accent are automatically to be considered as racist hillbillies who vote republican. That's stereotyping and bigotry. Being anti-republican is not.

BTW, anyone bamboozled by Reza Aslans fantasies about islamic countries being equality paradises shoud read Muhammad Syed and Sarah Haiders dismantling of his distortions right here : http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2014/10/05/reza-aslan-is-wrong-about-islam-and-this-is-why/

Oh man, I feel genuinely sorry for this guy, but when the sex therapist said she wanted to find him some relief, I honestly almost did a spit-take. Jesus Christ what a terrible wording.

Well, i suppose it could be legit, with a bazillion CS-matches every second, I suppose stranger things could happen.
